Reykjavík Mayor Dressed as Pussy Riot for Gay Pride Parade

Iceland Review reports that during this weekend's Gay Pride Parade in Reykjavík, the capital's mayor, Jón Gnarr, dressed up as a member of jailed feminist Russian punk collective Pussy Riot on a float, accompanied by a banner that reads "Free Pussy Riot". (Gnarr isn't the first Icelandic citizen of repute to express public support for Pussy Riot in the last few days; Björk issued a statement of her own yesterday.) Head here to check out a picture of Gnarr at the parade.
